"What else could it be?" Jiang Deng smiled slightly, raised his hand and said, "Of course you will continue your performance."
"..."
Nangong Xiangrui was suddenly freed from the bitterness and hatred of seeing Pei Ranzhi just now. Not only that, she almost laughed out loud.
But she couldn't live up to Jiang Deng's good intentions. Originally, she planned to cut off the trouble quickly and settle the matter with Pei Ranzhi as soon as possible. Now that she met him in advance, she couldn't miss it.
"Take it!"
Nangong Xiangrui handed the red plum sword to Pei Ranzhi.
Pei Ranzhi's eyes were full of confusion, "Why give it to me? This is our engagement token."
"Because..." A sneer appeared at the corner of Nangong Xiangrui's lips, "Because I want to break off the engagement. From now on, we will have nothing to do with our weddings and funerals!"
Pei Ranzhi was stunned for a moment and his eyes were filled with tears, as if he was about to cry, "I, I don't agree!"
Nangong Xiangrui frowned.
It was clearly Pei Ranzhi's family who was trying to frame her up, so how could she act like she was sorry for him?
"It doesn't matter whether you agree with it or not, just hurry up and get over it."
"……I don't!"
Pushing away Nangong Xiangrui's hand that handed him the sword, Pei Ranzhi shook his head like a rattle, "Anyway, you can't get rid of me. I will never agree to break off the engagement no matter what!"
"Hey! Pei, your skin is itchy, right?"
Nangong Xiangrui's temper suddenly rose, and she couldn't help but roll up her sleeves, planning to teach Pei Ranzhi a lesson.
Pei Ranzhi did not retreat at all, and the tears in his eyes fell softly. He rubbed his neck and said: "If you want to break off the engagement, there is only one way. Kill me, and our engagement will be automatically cancelled!"
"Do you think I don't dare?"
"Come on!"
…
Seeing that the two of them were going to delay further, Ji Shi, the only woman among the three Kaitianmen disciples present, hurriedly reminded her: "Ahem! Senior brother, now is not the time to talk about this."
"Don't forget about business. It's only right to destroy the evil cultivator sect of the Lamplighting Sect as soon as possible. Let's wait until the rest of the matter is done."
Hearing this, Nangong Xiangrui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hey, you were also sent here to light the lanterns?"
Ji Shi nodded, "Yes, my four senior brothers and sisters are here to destroy the Lamplighting sect entrenched in Heigu Mountain under the orders of our master."
"Wait a minute," it was Jiang Deng who spoke. Jiang Deng reached out and counted the people across from him, "One, two, three, there are only three of you, where is the fourth person?"
Um???
The three of them, Pei Ranzhi and Pei Ranzhi, all looked back and were stunned when they saw the corridor that was indeed empty.
Third Junior Brother Gan Yufan exclaimed: "Where is my Junior Brother?"
Ji Shi also frowned slightly, "Obviously, my junior brother was still here just now..."
Pei Ranzhi's pupils shrank, "What's wrong! He heard Jiukui, the head of the Lamplighting Sect, mention using mortals to make medicine, so he must have followed him to the main cave!"
"Oh my god, junior brother, we can't make any mistakes!" Gan Yufan looked worried.
That young junior brother has a great background. Bai Qian Lingyu sent this person here. I heard that he is the only son of the domain master of Baiqian Lingyu. If something happens to him, their Kaitianmen will also be in trouble.
of!
"Hurry up and chase!"
The three of them didn't care about anything else and hurriedly turned around and ran back.
"Um?"
Jiang Deng and Nangong Xiangrui looked at each other and vaguely understood something.
The minions who carried the corpse earlier mentioned that there were distinguished guests coming to discuss business today, and they should be pretending to be the disciples of Kaitianmen.
Now it seems that the direction they ran in is the same as the mark left by the Nangong family spies, so they can follow it and take a look...
"Walk!"
As Nangong Xiangrui raised his hand, everyone followed and walked quickly.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the so-called main cave.
Obviously there are no guards outside the main cave, but Pei Ranzhi and the others still haven't entered it and are anxiously milling around outside.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Deng asked curiously.
Ji Shi said with a worried look on her face: "There is a defensive formation set up by a strong person in the realm of gods at the entrance of the cave. We can't enter."
"Huh? Let me take a look."
Jiang Deng suddenly became interested and walked to the entrance of the cave to investigate, and found out that there was a formation. It was a mid-level earth-level formation, which she could just unlock with her current level of cultivation.
"How can I untie it?" Nangong Xiangrui asked.
Jiang Deng nodded, "Okay, but it will take some time to break the formation."
"How long?" Pei Ranzhi also asked.
"Give me a quarter of an hour."
Jiang Deng dropped these words and stopped talking, concentrating on studying this defensive formation. It has to be said that the people who set up the formation are so skillful that it is really difficult to understand...
Although the entrance of the cave was blocked by a formation and they could not enter, they could clearly see the scene inside the cave through the entrance.
I saw hundreds of mortals in the cave who were bound by the magic and had to kneel on the ground. Each of them stared with wide eyes and looked at the evil cultivator approaching them with fear on their faces.
Those evil cultivators were merciless, holding daggers decisively, cutting open their chests, taking out their hearts, and squeezing the blood into a container.
Finally...bowls after bowls of hard work were poured into a pile of soil on the high platform.
Because it had been soaked with blood for a long time, the color of the soil layer showed a strange dark red. The soil layer at the top shook slightly, and then a bud broke out of the soil.
Different from ordinary tender green buds, the buds of this plant are dark purple. As the heart blood continues to pour in, it begins to grow, and it grows faster and faster, and a bud has already sprouted.
"Hahahaha! Drive faster! Faster!"
The middle-aged man on the high platform had red eyes and looked at the flower buds crazily.
He is the leader of the Lighting Sect, Jiukui, who is at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
"This is...Purple Netherworld Flower? How is it possible!"
The people outside the cave could not help but murmur.
Gan Yufan asked curiously: "Elder brother, what is the Purple Nether Flower?"
"Purple Nether Flower is known as one of the top ten strange flowers. It has a rank of lower heaven. It is said that it grows on the banks of Netherworld River and can channel the dead. If consumed by evil cultivators, it also has the miraculous effect of increasing cultivation."
Speaking of this, Pei Ranzhi frowned slightly, "But, how could it appear here? If we leave the Netherworld River and still want the seeds of the Purple Netherworld Flower to germinate, it will take the efforts of 9,999 people.
, it can be made by watering it!”
Bang!
Nangong Xiangrui punched the stone wall angrily, "To harm a mortal like this, these evil cultivators really deserve to be killed!"
Everyone present wanted to rush in and kill all the evil cultivators!
But even if they wanted to go in again, but were blocked by this protective formation, they could only watch helplessly as those evil cultivators continued to brutally kill mortals, almost biting their silver teeth to pieces in anger.
Nangong Xiangrui asked: "Jiang Deng, when can the formation be broken?"
